Received a recall for my vehicle, took car to the dealer, back in 2014 and as of today the part has not been received, and my car has not been repaired. When follow up calls are made to the dealer (cerritos Dodge/Jeep dealer in cerritos, ca) are made, am informed the part is on back order, since 2014"?". on the other hand, I am constantly receiving message on my cell, from their sales department for request that I contact them for information regarding a new vehicle, with a trade in and great financing. I don't want a new car, just this one repaired.

We received a recall notice June 2014 for ignition switch. My vehicle dash board, gauges hear, air, everything shuts off at least 5 times a week. I am told from subclass that the part is still not in. In doing research, I have found the some cars completing shut down. Some while driving 60 on a highway. This needs to be fixed. I feel that over a year is long enough. I need my Jeep fixed and safe to drive around with my 4 year old grandson in the back seat. Thanks, deb

I received a recall for my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This involves the ignition switch. The ignition switch is defective and could catch on fire. I took it to our local dealership after smelling burnt rubber and they found my ignition had indeed melted. My vehicle and others could catch fire at anytime, is there not something you can do? has not sent parts to dealership for it I had a choice and replacing this with another possible defective switch but that was to come out of my pocket(500.00)! the recall is over a year old and still no replacements parts have been even designed. Isn't there a time limit on this? I've complained to Chrysler and was told there's nothing they can do about till they put out the new part!

Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

Shortly after I bought the Jeep, I started having issues with the whole dash lighting up as I was driving down the road. I was notified by Chrysler, on 09/29/14, about a recall on the ignition switch. As of today, 6/26/15, the part is still not available. This is completely unacceptable as this issue, obviously, may result in serious injury or death. My dash keeps lighting up and now the brakes are giving me issues. We have had the brakes changed out, rotors and calipers have been changed as well as sensors and there has been no improvement which means it is related to this recall. I am tempted to visit a lawyer in regards to this matter as it is very serious and can cost my family, as well as other families, their life. Updated 09/10/15
